Quadrophenia - A Mod Ballet (UK Tour)
Cosmo Valdemar replied to lowdown's topic in General Discussion
As much as I adore The Who and Quadrophenia I have little time for these orchestral reworkings... Alfie Boe singing Love Reign O'er Me is hard to erase from memory... So I didn't have high hopes for this. In fact I thought the whole thing seemed a bit ridiculous. Until I saw the trailer the other day and it actually looks to be very impressive. The brief snippets of the score sound utterly majestic. A comment from someone who's already seen it advises it's about as authentic a ballet as Tommy is an opera, so make of that what you will! -
How was Your rehearsal last morning or night ?

Peaches is coming along surprisingly well. It's still a sod with the timing but I'm currently impressed with how well I'm learning it. -

In my mind the biggie here is to be certain that there is no possibility of a short between the conductors. That would not bode well for the health of a solid state amplifier.

IEM Conundrum ....... possible solution??
Al Krow replied to Pirellithecat's topic in PA set up and use
I think the key limitation here is that the Xvive U4 that Ian is using is mono not stereo? -
I got a reply from Darkglass concerning the bug: "Hey Roger, Thank you for contacting us and we hope you are doing well. This issue was brought to our attention and we are currently investigating the situation. As soon as we have further information on this matter, rest assured we will provide an update as soon as possible. We appreciate your patience."

IEM Conundrum ....... possible solution??
Chienmortbb replied to Pirellithecat's topic in PA set up and use
The CQ does not include an internal matrix but feeding the base into two inputs would work well. Slightly off-topic, but the chorus works like a dream for a bass. -

There are many ways of looking at PAT. Before there were really defined standards, Panasonic would revoke the guarantee on any item that had a PAT test label. If we go back many years, especially the early days of valve amps, there were some lethal products around and the dangers were very real, but the various standards passed in the intervening years mean that equipment itself is very safe. The venues are another matter, as @Phil Starrhas mentioned. A socket tester is your friend https://www.screwfix.com/p/kewtech-kewcheck-103-13a-socket-tester-230v-ac/45558. The other point is that your lips are ultra snsitive and a very small elctrostatic charge could be just as likely from a microphone. Perhaps a foam shield? https://www.andertons.co.uk/shure-a58ws-blk-foam-windscreen-for-sm58-beta58a-sm48-and-565sd-mics/ will both protect you from shocks and also protect your mic from saliva.

I really want to keep this but have a few projects at home that need attention so looking to shed a few bits. Wicked pedal with knight fall, tarkin and T65 Octaver. All with individual clean blends, plus a master blend, and a master on/off switch. Effects stack in parallel for an absolute wall of awesomeness. Controls are really intuitive and easy to navigate. Velcro on underside, really wicked artwork. It's a wonderful pedal. I'll wrap box and post carefully. Any questions please shout. Selling cheaper than purchased, price includes postage second class. Can meet between Kettering, Bedford, Stevenage, Farnham areas of UK, or pass to my singer in north London... Drummer west London.... Blurb from cog website: Hellraiser" Custom Bass Multi-Effects Grand Tarkin Bass Fuzz, Knightfall Distortion and T-65 Octave all in parallel. Four level controls for mixing Dry signal, with only one ever active depending on which combination of effects are selected. This is very much an expansion on the concept of the T-65 Octave and parallel sub octave in general. Artwork is an adaptation of the Puzzle Box from the 1987 film Hellraiser, with oversized Moog-style knobs to finish things off.

Hi all, selling my Dingwall Combustion 5 has never been gigged in mint condition, just used at home and for recording at home, as much as i love it circumstances have changed and unfortunately it needs to go to a good home, it will come with the padded gig bag, pau ferro fretboard, ideally would be collection or can meet halfway if sensible, any questions please feel free to ask The Combustion succeeds in providing the ultimate combination of tone, performance and value, making it perfect for both stage and studio work. Thanks to our hybrid manufacturing approach, each bass receives a final fret level and set up by our skilled team of artisans in Canada, which means you can enjoy the cutting-edge benefits of the Dingwall Custom Shop at a more affordable price. Select from a left or right-handed model, Maple or Pau Ferro, 4-, 5- or 6-strings, with or without a pickguard and choose from a range of available of finishes, including Natural Ash, 2-Tone Blackburst, Vintageburst, Indigoburst, Whalepoolburst, and Ultraviolet. BODY & NECK The body is swamp ash and modelled on our Custom Shop Afterburner. It’s compact and lightweight, making for a bass that’s comfortable to wear and beautifully balanced. The five-piece maple neck is securely attached via four bolts, and the fingerboard employs Ralph Novak’s fanned-fret system and a 34–37-inch scale spread (the scale length of the B-string is three inches longer than the G), with a 240mm fretboard radius, making it superfast over a full two octaves. “We’re happy to report that the Combustion is well deserving of the Dingwall reputation. It’s built to last, with plenty of bounce, vibrancy and great sustain, all you would want from a five-string bass. We can’t recommend it highly enough – this is why so many bassists are adopting these instruments into their bass arsenals. Buy with confidence!” BASS GUITAR MAGAZINE PICKUPS & ELECTRONICS The Combustion comes fitted with Dingwall FD3n pickups that are made to our exacting specifications using neodymium magnets, which offer both high output and a smooth, but aggressive tone. They’re wired to a 3-band preamp, along with a 4-position Quad-tone pickup selector, master volume and an active/passive toggle switch. “The Quad-Tone pickup selector gave me quick access to several distinct flavors. In passive mode, the soloed neck and bridge pickups were old-school and vintage, the bridge /middle pickup combo was fat and focused, and the bridge/neck sound was loud and growly. Changing right-hand position gave me lots of variations on those themes, but switching on the preamp brought each pickup to life and showed me several new colors.” BASS MAGAZINE HARDWARE The Dingwall bridge started with an available bridge/saddle system that met our requirements for solid performance and great tone. We then improved on it by designing a custom riser system to provide an increased range of flexibility when it comes to adjusting the action. The headstock is home to the lightest import tuners we could find. We collaborated with Hipshot to modify their Ultra-lite tuners, which resulted in a shorter tuning peg that allows a proper downward angle at the nut for maximum sustain and improved stability. Dingwall Strings Dingwall strings have been meticulously tested to maximize performance and deliver a tone that blends effortlessly with any style of music. We were the first company to design strings specifically for multi-scale instruments. Available in both nickel and stainless steel, our strings provide an even tension for optimal balance, letting you experience the warmest highs and the tightest lows possible. Note: basses are shipped with Dingwall Nickel Strings as standard.

@Chienmortbb @Pow_22 Thanks for the information. With all the talk of valve tone and the thump of class A/B power amps and the heft - there, I said it 😱 - that you get from old school amp designs like this, coupled with what I think is pretty much a give away price, I'm surprised this is still hanging around. Someone somewhere mentioned that this series of amps wasn't particularly desirable but given that they doesn't suffer from the wooly sound some folks complain of with Ashdown amps I think they're an underrated gem. But as I gig almost exclusively on IEMs these days and have a light weight amp and cab for the occasional dep gig with backline, this is sadly in the way and needs to go to a new loving home.
